On Friday, March 8th, we loaded up the vans and headed east to Florida! We stopped the first night in Mobile to spend the night, then headed out early the next morning! We got to the house we rented about 4 that afternoon and unpacked while the guys ran to stock up on supplies at Wal-Mart!
We started our week off on Sunday at Magic Kingdom. I wasn't sure how much Paul David would remember, but the one thing he of course remembered was the Monorail...
Even though it was super early (about 7:15) when we were on the Monorail, they boys were both REALLY excited!!!
The park opened at 8 a.m. and we were there when it opened!
We even had time to snap this picture to begin our day:
Our first stop was right inside the park to see Mickey!
Then, we hit the ground running! By 10:30, we had ridden everything (except Winnie the Pooh...it kept breaking down on us) in Fantasyland! CRAZY!
We even got to ride Dumbo THREE times in a row without any wait!!
If you've ever been to WDW, you know that's amazing!
We also walked right up and saw Goofy:
Daisy:
and Minnie...Daisy and Minnie both gave the boys huge kisses...so cute!
You can see the Motor Speedway from FantasyLand, so we of course, had to go ride those next!
We ended up switching partners and going twice:)
Then, we caught up with the rest of the group and rode Buzz Lightyear!
And the People Mover...so relaxing:
We also went to Stitch's Great Escape (not a fan of that ride/show/what was that?),
but Judson and Justin enjoyed seeing Stitch:
And FINALLY, we went to the Hall of Presidents...Judson found "Georgia" Washington first thing!
The boys are SO INTO the Presidents right now (mostly because they're on all the money, and they're really interested in money right now too), so they were really excited to see this...weird kids, I know:
After the Hall of Presidents, our little family headed back to the house for a snooze!
I guess I need to add here that Paul and I both woke up with some tummy troubles this day. Mine pretty much lasted until about lunch time, but Paul's were pretty yucky all day.
During our naptime, Judson was the only one who slept while Paul David just rolled around in the bed moaning and groaning because his tummy was cramping, and he spent a lot of time on the potty. When Judson woke up, he spent some time on the Potty, too! It was the start of a really bad stomach bug that fortunately had no vomit with it!
When we returned to Magic Kingdom, we posed with the castle...so pretty:
We also got to see Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny!
What a special treat:
Sweet Boy...he LOVED Disney World!
We decided to take in Mickey's Philharmagic...Love pictures of the boys in their 3D glasses:
and Finally, Winnie the Pooh was working!!!
We met up with the rest of the gang by the castle, and settled in to watch the parade and fireworks. Well, we weren't in the best spot to see the parade this time, but we had awesome seats for the castle light show and fireworks. That worked out fine because last time we were at Magic Kingdom, we were in a great spot to see the parade, but couldn't see the fireworks at all. This time, Tinkerbell went right over us...so cool!
It was a magical day, and you haven't survived parenthood until you've had a day at Magic Kingdom with a 3 year old with a stomach bug:)
